Darkus ate wild rice tree frogs when he first came to the Lustria continent. Although the preparation method was very simple, the meat was tender and delicious. But that frog is poisonous, and the poison glands need to be dealt with, but there are always some non-poisonous frogs in the Lustria jungle as big as it is.
Under the guidance of a skink insect expert, Darkus chose a frog that looked like a bullfrog. Unlike a bullfrog, this frog did not make a call like a cow. If a frog dared to call like that in a jungle full of dangers... Moreover, this kind of frog is about the same size as a meat rabbit. Since the Lustrian scholar Renn was not with him, he simply simplified it and named this frog "Meat Frog".
Usually, lizard people don't breed meat frogs, but they will eat meat frogs when they encounter them in the jungle. Of course, they mainly eat them raw... and because of their large size, this kind of meat frogs has the advantage that it is not like raising bullfrogs. In this way, the densely packed rabbits within one square meter are full of fungi, and they do not need to be fed with antibiotics, which will cause subsequent pollution, and they can be raised as rabbits.
Darkus specially took out five frogs from Chapeiuto, and he planned to raise them on a large scale at the edge of the mangrove coastal jungle. Later, this kind of meat frogs will be provided to the labor dispatch of Bretonnian farmers, mainly old farmers in the Cochen Plain. Of course, not all old farmers in Bretonnia eat frogs. Due to geographical and environmental reasons, only old farmers living in the Kingdom of Mousillon, Kingdom of Leonis and Kingdom of Bastogne eat frogs. Old farmers in the Kingdom of Carcassonne want to eat frogs. can not eat.
Meat frogs are provided as meat to labor dispatchers, just like feeding animals. You have to eat them if you like them or if you don't like them. They can't help it. Who dares not to refuse the gift of Master Darkus?
Darkus was almost touched by his kindness and generosity. On one side was nut bread made of crickets, and on the other side was chicken made of meat frogs. Do the labor dispatchers have to think about the old world?
Ecological balance will protect that small and pitiful jungle. The jungles of Lustria are not just ordinary jungles. These jungles have their own mechanisms regardless of their size. Just like Haken who reclaimed wasteland and cultivated land, those jungles that have been burned by fire are not just ordinary jungles. It will make for good farmland, as the jungle will regenerate almost as quickly as it can be cleared with an ax and claws, and even grabbing creepers and impaling spines will start attacking living things in that area.
Therefore, the mangrove coastal jungle should be protected as a matter of course, and Darkus did not let him cut down the trees. This jungle without behemoths and large beasts can collect some birds and reptiles. Occasionally, if you are lucky, you can collect some. to magic plants, but those jungle lotuses that are useful to skinks have already been collected.
Now the mangrove coastal jungle can not only raise frogs, but also meet the exploration needs of Druchi dignitaries and sorceresses. At the same time, it can also be used as a novice village for trials of the Edreze sect. As for the Molten Gold Maar in the cave, he was ridden away by Zlatga after Chapeiuto rose. The Molten Gold Maar was very satisfied with its new partner, and even the aura of flame damage could be controlled. .
In addition to the meat frogs, Darkus is also planning to use part of the silver mines in Potosi to specifically mint silver coins for labor dispatch, and formulate relevant incentive systems to stimulate the desires of labor dispatchers. The convoys walking on the Kauchen Plain will bring low-grade products, such as clothes, bedding, salted fish, dried meat, animal offal, rotten fruit, and chicha wine, to the labor dispatch base for consumption. .
The medium ones will be supplied to Druch soldiers, the medium ones are generally for Druch civilians and soldiers, the high-level ones will be supplied to the rich and powerful, and then some special-level ones will be provided to those who are wronged, and the low-level ones will be provided by laborers in the Kaochen Plain. The dispatches digested it.
To put it bluntly, this so-called silver coin can only be used by labor dispatch, just like the game coins in the arcade and the dual currency of some games. It is symbolic and has small-scale circulation, such as the exchange between labor dispatchers. For example, if someone is sick, he will use silver coins to promise others to help more, but only specific items can be consumed, and they must be consumed at one time. There cannot be any surplus.
The labor dispatch chief and armor chief can be hacked and extort from the labor dispatch below. The Drukhi soldiers can also be hacked and melted down by some black marketeers. The two can also collude with each other to form a black industry chain. Yes, this is absolutely fine! But the premise is that you don't get caught by the reporting or monitoring system. You must know that not only labor dispatch has interrogation and reporting, but Druchi also has it. Moreover, Druchi soldiers will be rotated regularly, and Druchi society will soon undergo large-scale reforms. As long as you are not stupid, you will know the importance of status and these small gains.
Doing this will shake Darkus's roots. He will be hit hard, and the silver coins distributed will be counted.
In terms of being a human being, Darkus has never been a human being, because he is not a human being at all!
The Baojia system is okay, it's just a relatively normal household registration system, but the stench lies in the "informing and interlocking" behind it. If silver coins and meat frogs are sweet dates, then sticks are next.
Darkus has always believed that human nature is despicable. If you only treat him well, he will inevitably cheat on you and cheat on you. What he has to do is to maintain the quantity and production capacity of labor dispatch within a certain range, just like raising livestock... No, he is a herdsman. At first, he also thought about simply adopting the experienced slavery of Nagaroth, but he always believed that such cruel slavery could not release the productivity of labor dispatch, and if it did so, it would pack up the entire human race in the old world. It’s not squandering enough. How many people were there in the old world? Can the old world resist Chaos' march south? He also had to watch out for the lizardfolk influence to the north.
And is it too low-level for Darkus to adopt slavery as a time traveler? It's not advanced at all, not clever at all, and it's not as much fun as it is now.
Besides, there are no black slaves in this world. There are skeletons over there... Further to the south is the territory of the Skaven and the Lizardmen.
How do you say that? Will humans stop reproducing when the environment is no longer suitable for survival?
Darkus referred to Governor Banya's Mita corvee system, which he thought was very good.
Potosi's silver mining required a large number of workers, and revitalizing the silver industry required gathering such a team. Black slaves were an option, but the Banya royal family refused to provide subsidies for the mine owners to import black slaves. So the governor at the time turned his attention to the surrounding Inca indigenous peoples, and he revived and improved the mita corvee system.
In Potosi, the hundreds of villages and blood tribes that practiced the mita corvee system were divided into 17 regions, providing 16% of their prime-age men to the mines and mills every year, a total of 13,500 people, each needing services 7 years. Among them, 4,500 people take turns working in underground mines, and the rest work in smelters or perform tasks assigned by administrative bureaucracies.
The Banga bureaucracy cannot manage such a large system on its own because most bureaucrats lack basic language skills. So the chiefs and kulaka acted as go-betweens, gathering and counting workers, ensuring that quotas in each area were met, and handing them over to the bureaucrats in Panga.
In that era, the mita corvée system was never uncontroversial, and was considered an extremely realistic and cruel solution to Potosi's labor problems. However, the Mita corvee system did not reach the peak imagined by the governor at the time. Statistically speaking, Potosi's silver mines were like cannibals. Long-term displacement and high mortality disrupted the potential of the governor's attempt to reconstruct. Basics of survival.
There are many factors that caused the extreme weakening of the Mita corvee system, such as the death of natives from disease, the natives' resistance or escape, or being hired by the mine owners at a premium.
Mita corvee labor was not unpaid, it was not lifelong, and it was not slavery. However, it is mandatory! Labor remuneration was seriously inadequate, seriously damaging the indigenous way of life. The minimum survival cost of a laborer is at least 26 pesos per month, but the monthly salary of laborers is only 10 pesos, and the group of cheating bureaucrats and businessmen have also raised the prices of daily consumer goods.
The legal wages of the mita corvee could barely buy the daily needs of freeze-dried potatoes, and the laborers had no money to buy cooking fuel, let alone animal protein or stimulants such as cogu and chicha wine. Due to the difference between wages and the cost of living, most Mita corvée laborers usually arrived in Potosi with as much food as possible, as well as anything they could sell. Dried alpaca meat jerky is especially important, while cogu, chicha wine, chili peppers and fish must be bought in the town.
At that time, Potosi's production capacity reached its peak with the replacement of equipment and the Mita corvee system. However, once the Mita corvee system was started, it would become addictive, and negative effects soon followed. After getting the benefits of Potosi, he criticized the Mita corvee system as wrong.
Seven thousand people brought their wives and children, alpacas and corn, sleeping bags and straw mats, and arrived in Potosi after a two-month journey. However, only two thousand of these seven thousand people returned, and most of them returned. Some died in Potosi, and some had no livestock to carry on their way back, so they could only stay in Potosi or nearby valleys.
Desertions, lack of personnel supplies, etc. occurred one after another, and the indigenous population around Potosi declined massively. Mirroring the horrific forced immigration and deadly work was the rise of the regional indigenous chiefs and kulaka. They were responsible for recruiting laborers from their hometowns, coordinating between laborers and Banya bureaucracy and mine owners, and gradually became powerful and wealthy. A large number of chiefs who became wealthy in this way were able to purchase black slaves to serve as personal servants and cooks. These chiefs wore the latest European fashions, carried weapons, and rode horses. These chiefs also petitioned King Panya to canonize them as Inca nobility.
The compulsory Mita corvee system is exactly what Darkus needs, but the Mita corvee system he established is not that outrageous. Due to the existence of the Baojia system and the problem of language communication, the Mita corvee system is also very easy to operate. convenient. The Mita corvee system was also used as a back-up when he exploited labor dispatch. If one day the Kauchen Plain really did not need labor dispatch, he would use the extreme Mita corvee system to divide the labor dispatch on the Kauchen Plain. If Pi Liu died, he would not send those labor dispatches into the jungle, nor offer them to the God of Bloody Hands, nor would he sacrifice blood to the Blood God.
Subsequently, there were two Baoli who were mobile all year round, and then the number increased year by year. The labor dispatchers of these Baoli were preparing to become semi-nomadic. Their residence was set up in the city of La Plata, but they walked on the national highway in the Kauchen Plain all year round. , transporting goods in various provinces or delivering baggage and supplies to various strongholds.
The Mita corvee system will make up for the shortage of personnel during good harvests and allocate surplus productivity to areas of shortage, such as allocating the productivity of each province to pick cotton in Asriel Province. Moreover, the salt factory in Salta cannot be mined all year round. When the salt workers are free, they will ask Potosi, who is halfway up the mountain, to help.
As for the textile factory, Darkus is not prepared to do this. The labor dispatch working in the textile factory will be carefully selected, and the factory will also use masonry and steel structures on a large scale, and build fire dampers and emergency fire-fighting equipment. Just imagine What will happen if a labor dispatch is ignited by the Fire of Tzeentch in a textile factory? That fire cannot be extinguished by pouring water.
In the future, Darkus is also planning to plant a small amount of rubber in Salta Province. Those sorceresses who appear out of nowhere have excellent performance in chemistry. However, there is no word chemistry in Druchi society. The sorceresses use this word. Call it "The Great Alchemy." Wheels traveling on national highways need to be protected by rubber. Subsequent labor dispatch may require things like sheep intestines and rubber covers to meet demand, and at the same time, it can also limit the population.
Under the Baojia system, a household has five persons. These five persons refer to the labor force consisting of two adult men and women and three children. The children will be selected to form a household when they become adults. There are many disadvantages to doing this, but that's all. This is the limit of current rule. Darkus does not have the Internet or a more mature bureaucratic team. But in reality, there may be more than five people in a household, maybe two adult men and women, and eight to twelve children?
Due to the current sparse population in the Kauchen Plain, Darkus will turn a blind eye to the over-staffing situation, and the food standard for each household is based on the standard of four adults. As for whether there are children in the family or Having eight children is beyond his control, and he is not the god of fertility. He is just a pointy-eared child, and he cannot do such a delicate job. After reaching a certain stage, he will control the population and introduce relevant measures. Again, he does not want humans to cover the Kauchen Plain.
At the same time, rubber will also meet the needs of Reaper ballista wheels and various tanks. In the future, Darkus plans to build the most primitive version of a self-cycling bicycle. It would be too wasteful to ride a bicycle on national highways.
While the Kauchen Plain is vigorously developing agriculture and infrastructure, the military has not been left behind.
According to Darkus' instructions, the Druchi, under the influence of Whitney's fairy tale, used the steel produced in the open-hearth furnace to design an extremely modern equipment for the Lizardmen, the Strabokran gantry crane, which was specially used to lift the back combat platform of the behemoth.
The gantry crane consists of a pair of collapsible twin support towers supporting a horizontal gantry on which a winch is mounted on a track-mounted trolley. One end of the gantry crane is equipped with a winch-type chain for power lifting, and the other end is equipped with a manual sprocket to drive the track-type trolley to move horizontally. Each twin-braced tower consists of four hinged scissor sections that are raised by a hand-cranked winch mounted at the base of each tower and then locked together.
Just like hoisting a turret in a zoo, the giant lizard or giant beast controls the winch chain to easily lift the combat platform and place it on the back of the waiting giant beast below the gantry crane. Previously, it took half a day for skink keepers to complete the operation. The platform can now be installed in just one hour, and supplying ammunition on the combat platform is much more convenient than before. You only need to guide the giant beast to the gantry crane.
At the same time, the gantry crane can also meet the needs of inlaying steel plates for sea and land monsters. The sea beasts currently raised in Chapeiuto can also be used when installing bridles and armors, and the gantry crane can also be placed at the port to lift cargo.
What's even more outrageous is that this gantry crane can be towed on flat ground after being installed with four wheels. It can follow Druch's logistics troops and can be disassembled into three modules and placed on the back of the giant beast even in the jungle. The role of maintenance and replenishment at any time.
With the emergence of gantry crane, a piece of equipment with extremely high GDP also appeared.
From ancient times to modern times, no matter which world, food has always had a decisive influence on the process of war. How can soldiers fight if they don't even have enough to eat? Darkus has not read "The Emperor's Bayonet" and does not understand the reorganization and adjustment of the combat system, but he has read the article "The Obscure Source of Combat Power". As Druchi's prime minister, what can he do? It is to improve the logistics and food supply system of Druchi and to make Druchi's logistics to the extreme.
An oven trailer can produce 1,920 750-gram loaves of bread 24 hours a day. It is known that one loaf costs 500,000 marks...
There is no need to introduce the trailer. The core of the oven trailer is the furnace body. The furnace body is made of steel plates and is rectangular in shape with a vaulted ceiling. The total length of the furnace body is 3.5 meters and the width is 1.5 meters. To prevent heat from escaping, a special foil made by the sorceresses was installed in the cavity between the two cladding panels, maintaining the baking temperature between 260° and 280°. While on the march, the smoke pipes were removed and stored on the trailer, and there was a water tank above the firebox to hold hot water as needed.
Not only the Sd.Ah.106 oven trailer appeared, but also the large field kitchen trailer, the Hf.13 Army field kitchen, the light field kitchen trailer, and the Hf.14 Army field kitchen. The numbers in Hf.13 and Hf.14 refer to 1913 and 1914. This thing was used from Er Dezi to San Dezi. There is no technical content at all, it is just a matter of ideas. The steel coming out of the open-hearth furnace was manipulated by the sorceress with magic, and it was ready to be used by putting two more wheels on it.
The construction of the cooking carts of large field kitchens and light field kitchens is basically the same, except for the pot capacity. Each field kitchen consists of two parts: a material cart and a cooking cart. The former is used to store ingredients and fuel, and the latter is a mobile kitchen.
The field kitchen trailer is pulled by 2 to 4 horses. The chef, groom and chef's assistant sit on the material truck. The main part of the working platform of the cooking truck is a cooking pot and a happy pot.
The cooking pot adopts a double-layer pressure cooker with an independent stove, which can heat the pot evenly and complete the cooking of a large amount of food in a short time. The Happy Pot has a single-layer structure. It has no stove and is just a container. If you want to drink coffee... No, Darkus is not going to provide coffee, and Druch has no habit of drinking coffee, only Happy Water. No need to open the lid, just turn on the front faucet and a cup of happy water appears.
The smoke generated by the stove is discharged through the chimney. In order to save fuel and avoid exposing one's position on the battlefield, the field kitchen trailer is also designed with a unique overheating device. Closing the safety valve can isolate the air in the stove and the fire will be extinguished. In addition, there are several storage compartments around the work platform for storing seasonings and tools. Moreover, the storage compartments and pots can be locked to prevent poisoning and soldiers from looting.
Darkus standardized the carriage used by Druchi, with a standard length of 3.5 meters and a width of 1.5 meters. Moreover, he also converted the Hussite carriage into a Hussite chariot. When he was raided, he could use the Hussite chariot to form a defensive position. He gave Krakarond the task of making the carriage. Anyway, there is plenty of wood in the Venom Forest. .
Due to the problem of insufficient steel production, after returning to Nagaroth from the old world, Darkus planned to assemble the field lunch boxes, kettles and matching dry food bags.
The next problem became troublesome. The establishment of oven trailers and field dining trucks became a small problem. The reason why it was a small problem was that Druch's military establishment was a big problem.
In addition to laying out the Cawchen Plain, Darkus also held discussions with Malekith and Hyrses.
The conclusion is that times have changed!
If this development continues, Druchi's army organization will also change. Darkus told Malekis a long time ago that if everything in Kauchen Plain goes as he expected, the next step is to After returning to Naggaroth, Rekis launched a great purge, cleaning out all the families and fear lords loyal to Morathi or associated with Morathi, except Grond.
After cleaning out the Druchi dignitaries, the troops were brought to the plains outside Nagarond, where they conducted large-scale training. Supplies from the Kauchen Plain will be continuously transported by ship to the port of Nagarond before being distributed to ensure the training intensity of the soldiers, and then further expansion will be carried out based on population growth.
This involves a lot of troubles, such as reforming the military system of Druchi. The military titles of Druchi are very confusing. Take the army as an example. The lowest is the captain who manages the ten-man team, and then the centurion. These two Better yet, the confusion lies in the fear lord. In Druch, the fear lord is not a military rank. The same is true for the admiral of the Assur navy. In the navy, he usually commands a dragon ship or a fleet of falcon ships. All officers are called admirals, there is no such thing as lieutenant general or major general.
Fear Lord and Admiral are more like honorary titles. The one who manages hundreds of people in the northern stronghold of Naggaroth is a Fear Lord. Valahar, like Newkel, who manages tens of thousands of field troops, is also a Fear Lord. If you want to say that he is like a Roman legionnaire, it doesn’t seem like that?
In addition to professional titles, the organization is also very confusing. Usually the Druchi army has a five-piece set, namely the Dread Spearman, the Gloomy Swordsman, the Black Sharp Crossbowman and the Reaper Ballista, and then the Dark Rider. If you can pull it out With this kind of troops, a fear lord will appear. If they can also organize some chariots and behemoths, it will be even more fear lord.
Then... nothing more, highlighting feudalism and chaos.
Malekith thought for a long time, and he thought that what Darkus said was absolutely correct.
As a result, after studying for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the reason. Darkus wanted to Romanize Duruchi. In addition to Shenluo, Green Luo and Rosluo, Rome was also divided into many periods. He compiled the various periods like this This thing has no concept at all.
Moreover, the reform of military establishment also involves social reform. Since the military has been reformed, why not increase the knight class? Open a way for the common people, and at the same time make the common people citizens.
What Darkus wants is to completely Romanize Druchi, even after unifying the three spirits. If it really doesn't work, it can be transformed into the Tang Dynasty. The problem is that he doesn't know. Military reform must be done, and the corresponding training system will also be adjusted. (End of chapter)
